CF-Partners was set up for communications between the CF-Community and Allaire at the end of their run and the beginning of MM's ownership. It had a lot of good posts including the ones concerning the ISP licensing which, after talking with the community, was worked out in a way that everyone was happy with. The idea is that we're all partners with MM in this thing we call ColdFusion, even if we're not in the "Partner Alliance". Macromedia, CF-Macromedia, Macromedia-Talk, and MM-Talk are all on the table as a new name for that list. The point is to make it kind of obvious that the list is for talking with MM. I think it'll help keep CF-Talk on topic and help out Vernon with his job, especially when he has 300+ posts to go through (as the list has been doing at times for the last week).
